O'Brien and McGlynn,

The little bit of trouble that Mr.. o Brien
is having with Dr. McGlynn, John Nc
Mackin and their friends in New York is
rather annoying to him, doubtless, but it
will result in no harm to his cause. He
showed his good sense in not permitting him
self on last Saturday night to be made to
appear to indorse DR.. McGlynn and Henry
Georges land theories. He doesn't know
much about their land theories, perhaps,
and if he does it isn't part of his mission
to advocate or condemn them. He is here
for only one purpose, and if he is wise he
will not permit himself to be drawn away
from it by any other issue
1t is rather strange that any professed
friend of Ireland should endeavor to weaken
him with the friends of the Irish cause in
this country by trying to get him to take
sides on an issue that is not even discussed
in connection with that cause in Ireland and
England. 1t looks as if the effort to get
him to speak at the meeting at which reso-
buttons were to be adopted indOrsing the
land theories which McGlynn and George
are advocating were studied attempt to
bring him into disrepute with large pro
portion of the American friends of the Irish
cause. If nothing like that were intended,
then it is very clear that there are professed
friends of Ireland in New York who think
that the cranky notions of McGlynn and
George are of far more Importance than the
cause of Ireland.
Mr.. O'Brien was quick to see what the
effect in England would be if be appeared
at meeting at which John McMacllin pre-
sided, and resolutions were adopted favor
ing the land theories of McGlynn and
George. His refusal to take part in the
meeting shows that the confidence of his
friends in his Judgment and ability is not
misplaced

An Awkward Mistake.
From the Providence Journal.

A clubman relates at his own expense the
following "reminiscences of his visit to London
last summer Wishing to take advantage of the
alleged cheapness of clothing in London he car
ried with him no more than be actually needed
for the voyage, and on his arrival posted up ia
London in his steamer dress, TO find an impor.
tant dinner engagement awaiting him, only a
few days off. It was an extremely hot day and
he was tired, but he went at once to the estab-
lishment of tailor who had been recommended.
and asked to see the proprietor, Mr. X That
gentleman appeared, and the following CONVEX
sation took place:
You are Mr. X ~ the American asked
Yes was the laconic reply.
well, continued the American; II met your
customer, Mr. A, on the steamer I've Just
landed from, and he advised me to come and
see you before looking anywhere else"
but really, my man. the tailor said, looking
the dusty travel-stained visitor over from head
to foot. II am awfuly sorry not to obige Mr..
A, don't you know, but really we don't reed
any more help at present.
The American is neither vain nor lacking in a
sense of the ludicrous, so that instead Of be-
coming MORALLY offended, as many might have
done, lie simply laughed and explained that he
wanted some work done himself and on this
footing he was at once treated with considera-
ton designed to atone for so awkward a mis-
take.

Too Soon,
From the Boston Courier.

from tue boston courier.
There is a revivalin progress in a town not far
from Boston, and various incidents have marked
the progress of the work of grace. Among
others is related the following which has at least
the merit of illustrating phase of human ma
ture. Two ladies quarrelled about year since,
and have since then refused to recognize each
other. One of them, moved by an eloquent SER
mon delivered by the revivalist ON the need of
brotherly love. went to her neighbor, and en-.
deavored to effect a reconciliation. She ex-
pressed her regret that there should have been
hard feeling between them, took rather more
than she felt to be her fair share of blame, and
said that she had come to ask if they could not
be friends again.
The other woman heard all this in silence, but
with an unsoftened glitter in her eye.
That's all very well, - she commented, spite
fully, at last but you ought to have come six
months ago"
The spark of grace in the heart of the caller
tiared up an instant and went out The blood
flushed In her cheeks.
No., she said, rising with much dignity
You mean that have come six months toe
soon,'
And now the breach between the pair is wider
than ever.

The Sparrows' Revenge.

NTONt TIC FuTHIIILYIOII 7 tHteS.
Last spring the blue birds arrived earlier than
the martins, and settled themselves in the mar
tins boxes at the Knob Lick MOI depot. When
the martins came and found their homes oc-
cupfed, there ensued a battle which lasted
several days, in which the martins proved vic
torious They threw out the young birds and
killed them This spring the English sparrows
came early and took the martins boxes, as the
blue birds had done before, The martins came
again and found their home occupied and again
battle began. The martins were victors as be-
fore, and killed the little sparrows which were
in the nest In the course of few days it was
were closed, An examination was made and it
was discovered that the entrance to the box had
been filled with mud and straw, and three mar
tins had been walled in alive. 1t was supposed
the sparrows did their work of revenge at night,
and filled the holes so as to make prisoners of
the destroyerS of their young.

Sentiments of the Mightv.

From the Berlin TagebIdtt
A young lady having asked Moltke and Bis.
marck to favor her with a few words in her
album, the former wrote:
LUCE vergeht Wahrheit besteht
V. MoLTKE, Feldmarschallt
To which the Chancellor at once added:
Wohl weise ich, dass in jener Welt
Die Wahrheit stets den Sieg behalf;
Doch gegen LUCE dieses Lebens
Kampft elm Feldmarschall selbst vergebens.
W, V. BISMARCK, Reichsklanzer.
These lines may prove worthy of preservation,
and may be permitted to sEnglish" them as
follows:
Moltkes:
Lies pass away, truth lives for aye"
Bsmarck's

Truth will at last the victory gain;
But 'gainst the lies told here below
A Marshal cen will fight in vain.''

Loves Vigil.

james Clarence Harvey at Judge.
I watched her window for four long hours,
Waiting to catch one glimpse of her;
On her window ledge | could see my flowers,
AS the night wind made her curtain stir.
The mellow light through the curtain soft
Came sitting, glimmering over the way
And thought how many time and oft
My heart had gladdened at that bright ray.
''Wil she never come? Does she not surmise
wait for glimpse of her dear form?
Ere she closes in sleep those dear, dark eyes,
VIII she lift her sashy" for the night was
warm)
Slowly the moments creep apace
Till the mystic hour was twelve times told.
Still no sign of the dear ones face
For a fond good night as in days of old.
But soft She comes! My love! My sweet
/ shall see at last Great Caesars bones!
They have shifted around, across the street,
And given her room to old Bill Jones!

they Met on Fraternal Grounds.
Frop. the Dakota Ben.

Two men were driving along the road near
Sioux Falls few days ago, each in a carriage.
They had just passed where a farmer was busy
setting round cedar posts for barbed-wire
fence, when the man who was behind drove up
on trot, overlook the other and said:
Good morning, sir; would like TO ask you a
question:
''All right, go ahead"
Il want to know what those things are which
that man is planting there and if he expects
them to live and grow in such dry soil?'
Here's coincidence, sure enough replied
the other that's precisely what was going TO
ask the first man met -
'Oh, beg your pardon, I thought per
haps you were interested in a farm around

The Nicaragua Canal Scheme.

The frieads of the Nicaragua canal scheme
are more hopeful than ever about that pro-
Jected enterprise. The death of Capt Eads,
they say, puts an end TO the ship railway
scheme, and the misllap to the Panama ca
nal, by which large part of the excavation
has been filed up, will eventually they
think, cause that undertaking to be aban-
doned. There is no doubt that the caving in
of side of a mountain, through which a
cut had been made, has given the Panama
enterprise a serious setback 1t will cost
millions of dollars to put the canal in the
condition it was before the land slide oc-
Cured, and it seems to be doubtful whether
the underground stream which caused the
slide can be controlled The engineers have
gone to work courageously, however, to re-
pair the damage. Perhaps they will sue
coed in repairing it if the money does not
give out. How long that will last no one
can tell
Nobody seems to doubt that a canal can
be constructed on the Nicaragua route The
reports of all the engineers who have sur
veyed it are favorable. All that is needed
is the necessary capital, and that could be
obtained if somebody with the energy of
DeLesseps could be found to take hold of the
projected enterprise.

Accommodations for Negroes.

There WILL doubtless, be more or less ari-
tation in Florida of that provision of the
railroad commission bill that has lust been
adopted in that State. which requires that
first-class accommodations shall be provided
for colored people by the railroads Both
the white and the colored people prefer that
there shall be separate accommodations, and.
doubtless, all the roads are willing to pro-
vide such accommodations If the colored
people pay firSt-class fare they should, of
course, have first-class accommodations,
though, as a matter of fact, there is very
small percentage of them who care to paw
first-claSs fare. The great majority of them
would rather pay a reduced fare for second
class accommodations. There are few.
however, who have the means to pay for the
best there is to be had, and who will insist
on having the best The railroads will
be put to some additional expense
to provide on each train first-class accom-
modations for the few colored people who
insist that there shall be no discrimination
against them. Whatever agitation there is,
however, will soon disappear, and the rail
roads will quickly adjust themselves to the
new conditions imposed upon them if, in
deed, they have not already done so.
